Fantasy Shopping Spree at Hake’s Americana & Collectibles

As I’m sure most of you know, UnderScoopFire is a proud member of the quickly expanding League of Extraordinary Bloggers. I don’t get to contribute posts as often as I’d like, but this week’s assignment was way too cool to pass on.

I see where other Leaguers have posted a tally of the prices of the items in their shopping spree. I will be doing no such thing, as I’m taking full advantage of this (albeit fantasy) opportunity to ignore price tags.

The first thing I’m scoopin’ up is the Hoth Ice Planet Adventure Set:

This could have been just the box and I still would have scooped it up. The vintage packaging for Star Wars toys is unmistakably cool and I want to decorate a room with it.

Remember how cool roller skating was in 1983? How much cooler would it have been if you were sporting these Darth Vader roller skates? Sold.

Next I’m grabbing this 6″ prototype Darkseid head “from the unproduced ‘Tower Of Darkness’ playset that was featured in the 1986 Toy Fair catalog and on 3rd Series figure cardbacks”. This playset was to stand opposite the Hall of Justice as a lair for the Kenner villains. A one of a kind collectible, super cool for a fan of the Kenner Super Powers line.

Throw in the Diplodocus too! Holy crap I just clicked to the next page and there are 8 more Dino-Riders, a bunch of boxed vintage Star Wars figures, an 18″ Kenner Alien figure, and some James Bond figures. Gimme ’em all!

You had ’em too?? OOPS! I paid close attention to mention that Jay had already scooped the KITT bike, I must have missed the Vader skates in the ONE MILLION THINGS you picked. Kidding. I really like dyour visual layout though with the numerical key. You’re so much more image-ly talented than I am.
